Easy List Splitter is a jQuery plugin that you can split any ordered <ol> or unordered <ul> list by defining the number of columns.

The plugin will get your list, wrap it into a container div, generate as many lists as the number of columns you require and evenly split the list items into the different list elements. If the list items are not enough to evenly fill in all the columns, the plugin will hide the columns in excess (this might happen only if you’re ordering your list items vertically as per default).
